Once Upon a Time...
Nov. 4th, 2007 08:46 amTV movies were regularly scheduled on network television - sometimes they were two hour films and sometimes they were mini-serieses of six and eight hours. Which, come to think of it, isn't far afield from the average British tv season these days, but that's not the point of this post.
The point of this post is that for the last thirty years, I've had three betamax tapes safely in a closet, or a drawer. I've never converted them, and I've been terrified for the last 15 years or so that they're just in such bad condition that playing them will destroy them, so as long as I have them, unplayed and safe, at least I have them.
Never thought either of them would come out on DVD.
But?
Earlier this year, The New Adventures of Heidi, where she meets a little girl named Elizabeth (which, coincidentally, is my sister's name) and they go to Manhattan for Christmas was released - and I didn't know about it, but I do now!
The weird thing is, I found it because clearly, Amazon knows me. I went looking to see if the 1970s version of Little Women - the one with Greer Garson, Meredith Baxter Birney, Susan Dey, Eve Plum and William Shatner - was out, and yes, it also is! It came out last month, and it, along with the Heidi dvd, is en route to me!
And thanks to AOL, you can see a bit of Little Women ( behind the cut )
Ah, 70s tv movies! Don't ever change!

Now, LJ's been intermittently weird forever, and I was told that some people didn't see that I'd posted a Supernatural vid on Friday set to The Divinyls' Pleasure & Pain, so here it is, ( behind the cut )
